[ When the Young Become More Wise than the Old ]

Over the past few days I have realised something.... there was a point in my life that I was always the young one...the immature one... the one that seeked help and advice and looked up to my elders as my role models....

Today... today I look at the same people I once looked up to... the same people who were my guide...my support....the one's that taught me so much in life.... to think.... hang on a minute.... I think in this instance.... I am now the wise one....

How strange that felt.... to the point I wanted to slap myself across the face and was astonished! To the point I got so frustrated because.... how do you tell the person you look up to that they are wrong?

Well... best (well worst) part was... I couldn't.... I bit my tongue and pretended that I agreed... and that they were right.......... to only go home and really really feel frustrated because it's just not right!!

How strange it feels when you question the ones you once looked up to....

But I guess it makes sense sometimes....

I was once told that you will be a sh*t coach if you think you are the best and you prance around thinking that those you teach will never be as good as you....and therefore a good coach is one who develops his/her students to be better than the coach him/herself....

So now I stand in that strange zone.... more than half your age.... and strangely.... wiser... with more knowledge.... but still have that 'younger than you' mindframe that just can't blurt out the words... I don't agree... I think different... and maybe this time.... my suggestion is the better one.............

Still learning in this weird and wonderful world...........
